The reality of 5x5

Confession: I'm not so good at the whole "measurement thing." I'm not good at estimating height, weight, size in general. I need to SEE it to get it. As such, it should be no suprise that I was concerned about putting together my HOF entry. All the layouts printed at less than 6x6?? How is that possible? How will they be able to SEE how fabulous they are?? But they won't be able to read my awesome JOURNALING???

Well, it appears that I'll need to find another excuse for not making the HOF team this year. Because 5x5 is a whole heck of a lot larger than I thought. After printing out all my journaling to attach for easier reading....I actually printed my entry. And holy cow. 5x5 is big! You can see the layouts. You can see the details. You can READ THE JOURNALING.

Now here's where I've got to laugh. Because I've made 6x6 albums. When I see a 6x6 album, I don't think its not legible. So why in the world did that not translate to the perception of my entry?

I like to say I'm smarter than I look...but in this case. Not so much.

In other news....While he's simply adorable, Walker's brain is probably the size of a pecan. And it shows. Yesterday I had a sneezing fit. Perhaps it has something to do with the last time I dusted. Do I remember the last time I dusted. Hmmmmm... Anyway, my lack of housekeeping skills doesn't matter in this story. We're talking about the dog. So I'm having one of my how many times can you sneeze in the next 60 seconds episodes and Walker freaks! I swear he thought I was trying to TALK to him. Does a sneeze sound like a bark? First sneeze caught his attention. Second sneeze I got the classic Walker head tilt. Sneeze three he starts vocalizing. By the time I was done sneezing the dog was seated at my feet attempting to match each sneeze with a similar dog noise.

I love him...but he's not very smart :)

Yes, I know how that is with HOF entries. I'm sorry not to be throwing my hat in this year. Thanks for the doggie advice on my blog. It's HARD!

I just got mine resized and printed today...and I was totally amazed that, for instance my journaling assignment LO in a 10 point font was crystal clear. Wow! And like you, I had totally typed it all up and printed it out...oh well, maybe someone who has bad eyesight will need it. LOL.
